Best Horror movies that are under the radar?

I've passed it over many times, but hearing Mr. Scot and others endorse "Session 9," I had to see what all the fuss was about.

I watched it last night and really enjoyed it. I thought the ending was pretty predictable, but I enjoyed the slow, building tension and the cinematography. There were some great shots in that one. I've always maintained that the best horror movies are those that leave you with a few lasting images, and "Session 9" did just that (with the chair on the cover being the most prominent of those images).

Tonight, I'll watch "The Waking Dead," which I recorded.

What did everyone else watch?

I watched a couple of the Halloweens

Watched a couple of the Friday the 13ths- the new blood one? wtf was going on there?

From what I've read, it was conceived as Jason vs Freddy but they couldn't get the rights to Freddy so they turned it into Jason vs Carrie.

Eventually, of course, they were able to get Jason and Freddy together. The result was actually a half-decent movie despite the fact that the two main characters had been turned into caricatures by their respective sequels.

Sorry, Halloween3 is a piece of poo and Micheal Myers should hunt it down and destroy all copies of that movie.

I have always considered Angel Heart a horror movie, I can't believe they are going to remake it, can't be any bettter.

How cool would it be if they got Mickey Rourke to redo his role now? It is a stretch, but it could work...

I just saw a pretty good "under the radar" horror film called "The Deaths of Ian Stone." It was part of 2007's "8 Films to Die For" After Dark Horrorfest.

The film is a strange mix of Groundhog Day and Jacob's Ladder. Everyday, Ian Stone is chased and inevitably killed by demonic, shapeshifting beings that follow him from one life to the next. I don't want to get into the specifics, but if you liked Jacob's Ladder you should like this one.

It's a fairly original film, and yet I couldn't help drawing some comparisons with Jacob's Ladder. In both films, a character is chased by demon-like characters, and the line between fantasy and reality is blurred (in part due to drug use -- again, in both films). The Deaths of Ian Stone borrows much imagery and symbolism from Jacob's Ladder as well, such as trains, light and dark, operating rooms, and some "impaling" scenes. Also, remember the creepy, super-fast head shakes from Jacob's Ladder? They're in this film as well.

Don't let these comparisons dissuade you from seeing the film -- it is by no means a rip-off of Jacob's Ladder.

I looked up the writer of this film and found he also wrote They, which was made back in 2002. There are some similarities between those two as well -- namely the use of fear and some of those same head-shaking techniques.

Two thumbs up.

      Canales is holding us back

      I don't think Dave touches the defense. That might be a mark against him but definitely a huge red flag for evero. He refuses to run anything other than soft zone and when you don't get pressure that's an awful scheme

      You don't have to convince me. I think not picking up the option should absolutely be firmly on the table but I just do not see Tepper and Morgan doing that for previously stated reasons. Therefore I'm not going to bother entertaining the notion. Just hoping we actually get real viable competition. If that doesn't happen at the minimum then my perception of that is complete and utter professional malpractice.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
